Snapdragon

I know I am her favorite flower;
I shoot up in a spike of yellow bloom
to snatch her attention away
from all other flowers 
at home in this small garden patch.
...but the Gladiolus is coming
with spikes much bolder than mine
and I shall wither away in the shadow 
of its glorious blooms,
                                       dropping 
                                       seed
                                       for
                                       another 
                                       spring 
                                       day.
